Draft (PartMaker, advanced pocket milling)

Use the Draft page to add a draft angle to a vertical pass.

Draft — Select this option to enter a draft angle.

From — Select the location of the toolpath relative to the curve:

  • — The draft angle is taken from the top cut.
  • — The draft angle is taken from the bottom cut.

Angle — Enter the angle of the draft, relative to the tool axis.

Area Filter — Select to ignore areas smaller than the Threshold value.

  • Threshold (Tool Diameter Units) — Enter the size against which all areas are compared. The value entered represents the ratio between the tool diameter and the longest principal axis of each individual area. For example, a value of 2.0 means that the length of the longest principal axis of an area is compared against twice the tool diameter.
